...BOY! So, the Jones' family will be adding a little boy to the mix in May! He's healthy and measuring as he should be. He's a tiny little guy, and he is very laid back - much like his dad. I've been feeling him moving around for about a week now, just didn't know that was what I was indeed feeling. The movements come and go, but they're definitely scheduled. He's most active at 9:30am, 3:30-4:30 pm, and then anywhere between 8 - 9:30 pm. I'm assuming that's when he's most active...that's when I feel the "flutters". I know they'll get stronger soon though. The ultrasound was probably the coolest experience I've ever had. It was so neat to see him moving around there - well, as much as he could...he looked cramped! :) He looks like he might have my facial structure - a round face. But that can all change quickly. However, I hope he looks like Jeremy - he'll be so handsome if he does! Well, below are Mr. Ayden Brooks Jones' first pictures. He'll be here before we know it!

So, over the past week, I've definitely noticed a change....in my shape, that is. For the longest time, I wasn't showing at all. 4 months and I'm finally starting to pooch out a little. I can't wait until it turns into the full "bump" because for now, it just looks like I've been eating too much!

We were able to change our ultrasound appointment since Jeremy has trouble getting off work for the appointments. We go on Wednesday, the 26th to do the ultrasound and, hopefully, find out if little one is a boy or a girl! :) We already have names ready to go, and we're sharing in case anyone cares to know them. If it's a boy, he will be named Ayden Brooks Jones. If it's a girl, she will most likely be named Olivia Kate Jones. It was going to be Katherine Ann-Marie Jones, but since we decided we would called her Kate, we didn't see the need in giving her such a long name if she wouldn't be using it. Our parents have no idea we've changed the ultrasound date, so they will be getting great Thanksgiving news if the baby cooperates!! :) Yay!! So that means - if you know our parents, keep it to yourself!!!

I went shopping tonight after work, and let me tell you - that was a depressing trip. I barely fit into my pants right now, so I don't know what I planned to achieve by trying on all of these clothes. Anyway, I have a wedding to go to this Saturday, and I realized that I didn't have a dress for a winter/autumn wedding. So, I set out to the mall. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I knew I needed a dress that I could grow with, but not one that was going to be so big that I could never wear it again. So, after trying on everything JC Penney had....and searching through Belk's non-existent dress collection....and then walking around NY and Company with a scowl on my face....and I ended up at JC Penney telling myself I was not leaving without a dress. I'm not a fun shopper. I like to go in, pick something out (I MIGHT try it on), pay for it and leave. So, being at the mall for an hour and a half and only succeeding and realizing why I hate shopping to begin with, I was not a happy camper. Luckily, I came across a black, empire waist, dress. I tried it on....the size was good..room to grow....and it even made me look like I had a little baby bump. So, I got the dress and bought some hose. But now, I have to find shoes and a sweater...gggrrrrr. I'm not good at accessorizing or knowing what looks good with what, so the outcome of this outfit will be interesting.

Anyway, now that I've bored you to death....I guess that's it. Our cat has been sickly lately. Not sure what's wrong with him. I believe God can help animals feel better, and I prayed for him last night. This morning, he was much better, but still weak and sleepy acting. He did eat this morning, which was good. He didn't eat at all yesterday. He usually greets me at the door and runs to the back door to try to squeeze out when I let Tucker out. Yesterday, he just sat on his stool and looked at me like, "uuuuhhhh.....soooo sick." Poor guy. At least he's better. :)

Ok, now, I promise I'm done. Sorry this wasn't so interesting. My life isn't all that exciting these days. Just work...go home...eat...and sleep...then repeat.
